DYK most of the books in the bookcase are the ones read by Rachel? I have a new bookshelf waiting to be assembled since some of the books won't fit anymore


DYK they are just piled on the rug in my living room?


DYK its driving me a bit nuts having books on the floor when the girls accidently kick them? then they scatter? Nobody wants to put them back into a stack?

DYK I hope they get back to you before the scheduled start so that you don't make the trip there only to find out class is cancelled

It's a teacher preference thing here. *I* like to order from book orders...lol. My first year of teaching, a co-worker did them, but she left. So I did them the past 2 years. I decided not to do it this year, and thankfully another teacher picked up on it after I had decided against it...yay!

But I'm still doing my own. I'm a "Red Apple Teacher" because I had such great orders my first year that I don't have to do a minimum. But I still get $10 for each order (the first order for that club that month) if I spend $20, so I'll be ordering the Monsterology and getting $10 of my choice books for free.

one reason I didn't want to do book orders this year is because I need to remember to hand them out in 6 classes, then I have to collect money, usually for a minimum of a week, and I have to do the finances the way the school dictates.

Other teachers (even in this district) will send the money directly to Scholastic OR have parents write the checks to the teachers (no thanks!) and then pay for the whole order with a credit card.

I have to deal with enough money with Beta, so that's really what deterred me from it this year.
